Lesson 21

                                       

The World According to Humphrey



Essential Question: How can media be a distraction?


"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." Luke 16:13


This week we'll begin by asking, "How can media be a distraction?" In the fantasy selection The Work According to Humphrey, we'll read about a pet hamster whol changes a family's leisure habits. We'll also read the informational advertisement Make the Switch, which persuades us to make some changes in our own leisure habits.
